Etymology of ABALIENATED

The term "abalienated" is a derivative of the word "alienate". Here is the etymology of the word "alienate":

The word "alienate" originated from the Latin term "aliēnāre", which means "to transfer ownership or possession". It is derived from the noun "aliēnus", which means "belonging to another" or "foreign". This Latin term is a combination of "alius", meaning "other", and the suffix "-enāre", which denotes "to make" or "to cause". The word "aliēnāre" was initially used in legal contexts to refer to the act of transferring property or rights to someone else.

Over time, the word "alienate" evolved from strictly referring to the transfer of ownership to also encompassing the idea of distancing or isolating oneself emotionally or socially from others.
